scheduled events from API

Hi,

It is not currently possible to create a scheduled event via the public API. API functionality is limited to listing, viewing, and cancelling events.

Thanks,
Matt

When will it exist?

Hey ​@highlead we are still unsure whether this will become a feature in the future! It’s one of the points of feedback we get and hope to evaluate how it could fit into our product roadmap. In the short term, you can embed your Calendly event types so that invitee can schedule wherever HTML is supported. You can see the embed process covered here: https://help.calendly.com/hc/en-us/articles/223147027-Embed-options-overview

This lack of api functionality is the sole reason I’ll be cancelling my Calendly subscription. I’ve been very happy with the service, but I don’t understand Calendly’s refusal to allow scheduling events through the API. It seems to me this would be the most useful feature of the API, so I can integrate Calendly into my PowerAutomate client onboarding flow. Using the PA GUI automation is too buggy. My CRM and payment is through Square.com, and I use their API to create the customer file, invoice, and contract, instantly and automatically from the info I enter in my PA form. It’s just nonsensical that I have to manually create the Calendly event afterwards. Unless Calendly comes to their senses, or otherwise provides a Square.com integration, I won’t be renewing anymore.

​@Parent54227 Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that our current API capabilities don’t meet your needs. Scheduling events via the API is a feature that we know is important to many of our users, especially for those, like yourself, who are building complex and powerful workflows with tools like Power Automate.

While we currently don’t support creating events directly via the API, this is something our team is actively reviewing. We understand the value this feature could bring, particularly for streamlining workflows like client onboarding and integrating with platforms like Square. Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us prioritize improvements, and I’ll make sure your use case is shared directly with our product team.

In the meantime, if there’s anything we can do to help optimize your current setup or explore potential workarounds, feel free to let us know. Thank you again for your honest input!

If they incorporate the functionality of being able to schedule an appointment in a created event, Calendly would grow exponentially. I develop AI agents and with that feature I could ask my agent to book me a doctor just by sending him an audio.

I wish see it soon

We are trying to create an event (a meeting) through the API but when doing it as in its documentation it sends me a 404 errorhttps://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events/ Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Check the API URL, use POST request, verify authentication token, and ensure the payload is correct. Also, test with https://api.calendly.com/users/me to confirm authentication. 🚀

Hi ​@hectormxn, ​@highlead, ​@Smart36265, ​@gb82102 - this is now available! The API documentation for this endpoint can be found here: https://developer.calendly.com/api-docs/p3ghrxrwbl8kqe-create-event-invitee.
